“everyone’s favorite alpha male president was against masks because it would ruin his makeup”
yep, ok, but drag queens are the real danger to society, got it.
Well yeah, they show that you can put makeup on and not look like a complete idiot.
And that whole thing like Gulliani leaking black fluid down his face.
them queenz got skillz
And they've got the best make-up tutorials too.
Wait. Is that why the right is all up in arms about drag queens? They're just jealous of the great makeup skills your average drag queen has?
With all the fantasy strongman Trump images the maga alphas keep passing around and fawning over, it’s confusing they’re not lgtbq supporters.
"His insecurity about his appearance only makes us like him more!"
Aggressively worthless behavior
Least surprising report of the last decade.
Pretty sure you can dig up a bunch of tweets from that time with people calling this exact same thing.
yep, I was one of those people
Ditto. It could not have been more obvious that he didn't want to wear a mask because it'd smudge his clown makeup. There was never a good reason for it. Not wanting to live in fear/appear weak was just the usual conservative spin for Trump's constant shitty behavior and leadership failures.
Me too
This is the most direct source though, "unmanly"

I remember reading this exact article back then
That was a direct hit.
A true Alpha Republican male. Death before smeared makeup.
This news is as stupid as it is unsurprising.
We knew it at the time. This article appears in the October 19/26, 2020 issue. “As any woman can tell you, the masks smear makeup. The president is afraid of makeup stains on his mask and unsightly smears on his photographed face.” —letter to The New York Times from Sarah Crichton https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-mask-orange-makeup/
as if he’s not always unsightly
Sounds like a Blaze Foley song. "He's a real cowboy, with his makeup on"
Song is about Bush Sr but boy does it hold up.

That's so on-brand for this preening jackass.
what color did he use on Apprentice
Is this what manly conservatives hated masks so much for, it smeared up their makeup?
And Biden rode a bike because he thought it was easier than walking up stairs...
Can people please move on from giving a damn about Trump? Focus on real issues instead of vilification of Trump. He is literally not worth your time or mental focus.
Trump is a clear and present danger with too many allies for his enemies, i.e. us, to make him go away by sticking our heads in the sand.
Once he's behind bars for inciting an insurrection, you bet!
We are very capable of multitasking
Like it or not he's a shoo-in for the 2024 GOP nomination so he remains a relevant threat to democracy. "Moving on" is not an option.
Maybe block this community, and news, if you're not interested in the lead Republican candidate who is also indicted in close to 100 felonies that are currently awaiting near future trials.
If you don't want to hear it, bury your head in the sand, because it's going to be fucking everywhere, as it should.
That would be blocking myself from following substantive content I do care about.
You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine.
I figured since the prevailing opinion is sufficiently covered in this, I would voice my opinion.
Understanding others viewpoints is a basis of discussion as is shown when I express a different opinion and generate discussion. :)
Crazy, considering if he becomes President again we're all fucked.
Maybe just stop looking at articles with Trump in the title, probably a better solution for you than telling people to stop caring about things that matter.
That is my approach which is why I am advocating that others do the same. However, on a collective scale, the more energy we focus on complaining the less there is for focusing on other more important matters.
When you encounter a bully in life you naturally learn to ignore them or avoid them to lessen your psychological harm from their tactics. So ignore the bully.
Whether or not you click the article does not affect the outcome of the election, that is the purpose of voting.
Hard disagree.
Interesting, care to elaborate on your approach?
Bullies don’t learn by having free reign, they learn by having their nose fixed.
Yes.
That is one way they learn. But you can't go around punching people in the adult world where often the bullies are your boss or some authority figure like a cop. In those cases you have to minimize how much you interact with physical and emotional boundaries. Trump essentially is a bully in the context of the news headlines and politics. He likes to belittle others.
That can both be a literal and metaphorical nose.
